Poudre Canyon Quilt Show

This years quilt show was done a little differently. Normally we have a big craft fair along with the quilt show, but since the new mill levy passed and we are getting a new fire station/community center, our old community center is in the process of being torn down. Therefore, it was decided to do a community garage sale, and a smaller quilt show with just the quilters from the canyon.

With fewer participants, the show was a little smaller this year, but not by much! Look at all these lovely quilts!

i was able to enter a few doll quilts from the ALQS swap, along with Berdena's 90th birthday quilt (you can see them up at the front of the chapel). I always give my quilts away and therefore, dont normally have any to show, so it was nice to have a few to share this year! I included a few detailed shots of some quilts that stood out to me...enjoy the pics......




and here is a shot of jordyn being silly with her cousins after a day fishing with grandpa...pardon the grain of the photo, but i didnt realize my ISO was set so high when i ran out to take it :(

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

A Beautiful Summer Day!

Yesterday was a perfect day for playing in the pool...or at least Jordyn thought so! I have been playing catch up all week since Rogue Camp, so today was a great day to wander around outside and enjoy the afternoon. The end of Rogue Camp usually signals the end of summer...when things start to become quiet and slow down. We have less visitors, and the weather begins to cool off a bit with more days of rain. But yesterday was perfect! Not a cloud in the sky. I LOVE living up here, and as my favorite season approaches, i get excited with plans of crafting, quilting, and painting! And speaking of quilting...here are a few photos from this years local quilt and craft show. It was a beautiful exhibit, as always, and i enjoyed the rest of the goodies at the craft fair also. It was scheduled the same weekend of Rogue, but i found a little time to sneak away and check it out :) Besides, i had to buy my chainsaw bear for the house, i buy one every year to represent how many years ive lived up here, and they make a nice addition to the Black Bear Cabin! This years bear is holding a big red heart. Anyways, not too much in the quilting arena right now...im taking a bit of a break before i jump in to the next ALQS swap run by Kate. I rcvd my partners info, and ive picked out a pattern already...what fun! Stay tuned for teasers of my progress!
